In recent years, many more IoT applications have beenextensively used. For instance, Healthcare applications execute computations utilizing the user’s private data stored on cloud servers. However, the main obstaclesfaced by the extensive acceptance and usage of these emerging technologies aresecurity and privacy. Moreover, many healthcare data management system applications have emerged, offering solutions for distinct circumstances. But still, theexisting system has issues with specific security issues, privacy-preserving rate,information loss, etc. Hence, the overall system performance is reduced significantly. A unique blockchain-based technique is proposed to improve anonymityin terms of data access and data privacy to overcome the above-mentioned issues.Initially, the registration phase is done for the device and the user. After that, theGeo-Location and IP Address values collected during registration are convertedinto Hash values using Adler 32 hashing algorithm, and the private and publickeys are generated using the key generation centre. Then the authentication is performed through login. The user then submits a request to the blockchain server,which redirects the request to the associated IoT device in order to obtain thesensed IoT data. The detected data is anonymized in the device and stored inthe cloud server using the Linear Scaling based Rider Optimization algorithmwith integrated KL Anonymity (LSR-KLA) approach. After that, the Time-stamp-based Public and Private Key Schnorr Signature (TSPP-SS) mechanismis used to permit the authorized user to access the data, and the blockchain servertracks the entire transaction. The experimental findings showed that the proposedLSR-KLA and TSPP-SS technique provides better performance in terms of higherprivacy-preserving rate, lower information loss, execution time, and Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage than the existing techniques. Thus, the proposed method allows for better data privacy in the smart healthcare network.展开更多

Recently, Wang et al. proposed an authentication and key agreement scheme preserving the privacy of secret keys and providing user anonymity. Later, Chang et al. indicated that their scheme suffers from two security flaws. First, it cannot resist DoS (denial-of-service) attack because the indicators for the next session are not consistent. Second, the user password may be modified by a malicious attacker because no authentication mechanism is applied before the user password is updated. To eliminate the security flaws and preserve the advantages of Wang et aL's scheme, we propose an improvement in this paper.展开更多
